yas-o-hiras-o-jaur-o-jafa se alag-thalag
ek saeban hai qahr-e-khuda se alag-thalag

dekho utha hai wo bhi alamat ke taur par
dast-e-daraaz dast-e-dua se alag-thalag

parwana-e-hawa-o-hawas han barae-shauq
koi maqam sham-e-wafa se alag-thalag

kab tak rahega wahshi-e-ehsas-o-agahi
na-sazgar aab-o-hawa se alag-thalag

mil jaega hisar-e-azimat ke aas pas
karb-e-sukut aah-o-buka se alag-thalag

sad-hadsat-e-kham hain ibrat-nigah mein
tarikh-saz jurm-o-saza se alag-thalag

is khauf se na sehr-bayani pe harf aae
'rahi' rahe hain chun-o-chara se alag-thalag
